Welmoed Merlot Stellenbosch RSA
Description: Located in Stellenbosch, the farm of Welmoed was first granted to Governor Simon van der Stel in 1690. Over the years, many great wines have been produced in the Welmoed Cellar. Today, Welmoed maintains its proud winemaking tradition and has built up a solid reputation both in the South Africa and selected international markets with Welmoed’s distinctive carefully-crafted approach. Once harvested, the wine is pressed off skins just prior to dryness to preserve fruitiness and softness of tannins. This is followed by a malolactic fermentation after which a part of the wine is matured in French oak barrels. Care from the vineyard to the winery has produced a supple red from South Africa that oozes mulberry and cassis flavours with a silky smooth finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £65.88

Groot Constantia Pinotage Constantia RSA
Description: Groot Constantia struggled to emulate the success of the other Constantia wineries, but for the past few years, quality has been on the up. Since 2001, the energetic Boela Gerber has been in charge of the cellars, and his success with this Pinotage augurs well for the future. This is a more robust and forward wine than the Scali, with some of the same berry spice flavours, but more of the classic Pinotage plum and banana edge. If you like fruit, drink it now; if you prefer something mellower, my suggestions is to give it four more years in bottle. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £74.37
